AirtmAL MEETING. 59 



tion to come before the Legislature; that would make a suitable 

 impression upon them, and would probably secure a good appro- 

 priation. 



Mr. John Tillson : I think it would be a good idea to have one 

 general head for that organization. This week we have five or 

 six organizations holding meetings here in the State House. I 

 think they could with advantage hold one general meeting each 

 day. I now move you that a committee be appointed to confer 

 with these different meetings in order to unite on some plan for an 

 association such as Professor Skinner spoke of. If you can get 

 these people interested in it, I think you can have such an associa- 

 tion. I don't think that we as State Fair managers ought to take 

 too prominent a part in this, but I think we should join with the 

 other organizations to form such an association. 



Mr, Tillson's motion was seconded and carried. 



Mr. Hadley : I think Professor Skinner should take charge of 

 this matter while he is here, and then at the end of this meeting 

 call a meeting of all the associations here in this room to perfect 

 the organization he proposes. 



President Thompson appointed the following committee, as pro- 

 vided for in Mr. Tillson's motion : Mr. John Tillson, Mr. Oscar 

 Hadley and Mr. David Wallace. 



Mr. Tillson asked leave to withdraw from the committee, and 

 Mr. Joe Cunningham was appointed in his place. 



Professor Skinner : It is the plan, where these committees are 

 appointed, to give each association notice of the time the general 

 committee will meet. We will try to have the meeting in this 

 room some time later in the week. I will inform Secretary Down- 

 ing and President Thompson as to the time, so that we can arrange 

 to meet at a common hour. 



The session was then adjourned.
